    At first, I thought I might give this a four star rating. After all, it is a romance with a bit of sappiness, and everything works out just as it should in a typical romance novel. Nothing earth-shattering there. It's written by four authors, and the book is a nice, clean Christian romance. At first glance, the book is not a stand-out. I figured it would be four short stories since each author wrote a certain section.

    Here is what makes this book absolutely unique and makes it deserving of the rating I have given it. Don't let the fact that four authors write this book together cause you doubt how wonderful the book is. I believe the authors have accomplished something that very few authors (if any) could do. This book does not read as four separate stories written by four distinct individuals. Instead, it reads like a cohesive novel that was written by one person. Somehow these four women have made it work. I honestly could not tell the difference between writing styles of these authors, and the story made complete and perfect sense.

    I have to admit the only truly negative thing I would say would be that I wish each romance had developed a little slower. I realize the authors were working under a time constraint, but I think it could have been accomplished--or at least tried to do so. If you like romances, small towns, and a little inspiration, this is a quick, easy read for you!

    I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

    Secretly Smitten

    Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt, & Denise Hunter

    Book Summary: Summer, fall, winter, spring–Smitten, Vermont, is the place for love . . . and mystery! There's a secret in Grandma Rose's attic–a forgotten set of dog tags belonging to her first love. But David Hutchins was killed in action and never returned to Smitten. How did the dog tags end up in the attic? The mystery intrigues Rose's three granddaughters–Tess, Clare, and Zoe–and they decide to investigate, though their mother, Anna, warns against meddling. But as the seasons turn and the mystery unravels, the three young women and their mother encounter some intriguing mystery men of their own. Has a sixty-year-old puzzle sparked something new for this close-knit family of women? Join popular romance novelists–and real-life BFFs–Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt, and Denise Hunter for four delightful intertwined tales of mystery and sweet intrigue.

    Book Review: Like all the stories very much. I think it would be hard to pick a favorite. Even the one that I was least interested in became very enjoyable to the point of wanting to know how it ended. I like the carryover 'mystery' involving Grandma it was a good link between the stories. I liked Denise Hunter's story because it tied everything up very well. Not all series do that. Grandma's mystery did not have a very exciting climax which was sad but with a limit to the length and content of the story something had to be decreased and left to one's imagination. I am looking forward to reading Smitten now.

    I would like to thank Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

    Fun-filled easy to read stories!

    This was a delightlful collection of stories and I loved how all of the main characters from each of the stories really interacted with each other throughout all of the stories, because they are all a family so it was like a whole inter-connected series in one volume!

    I loved how these stories were so well written and fun to read, and relax with. There was a mystery that wove all four of the stories together, and alot of love and laughter. I absolutely loved this small-town romance novella collection. I think you will to!

    Overall, a lovely read that is wonderfully enjoyable. I loved visiting Smitten and I can't wait to go back!

    I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

    I was a huge fan of the first book in the Smitten series and was very excited to read the next book.

    Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt and Denise Hunter are some of my favorite authors and together they write a fun, energetic, interesting and creative book!

    I enjoyed reading about other characters in Smitten and how the dog tags tie so many of them together. Each individual story is a great read. My only complaint is that I wish each story could have been longer! I wanted to know more about their stories but I understand the concept of the 4 short stories making one book.

    I love the town of Smitten and the quaintness of the buildings, the parks, the people and the businesses. Each story makes me want to drink some coffee with them and take a walk around Smitten!
